    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
    • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
    • 6 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
    • 4 tbsp. sriracha
    • 2 tbsp. sugar
    • 1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
    • 4 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds

    Preparation

    1. In a mini food processor or blender, puree the peanut butter, coconut milk and soy sauce with 2 tbsp. rice vinegar and 2 tbsp. sriracha.

    2. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 4 tbsp. rice vinegar and 2 tbsp. sriracha with the sugar and ginger. Add the cucumbers, cabbage and chile; toss. Chill 20 minutes; drain.
